We have just returned from our first trip back to Tuscany in almost 20 years and what made it truly exceptional was our stay at Hotel Cosmos in Florence.
Even before we'd arrived the lovely Amy had been such a joy to communicate with, offering so much useful information but also ensuring we had the most wonderful room for our stay.
Check-in was swift and efficient and as mentioned our room was amazing. Large, with lots of space to store the cases, a great bathroom with an AMAZING shower and killer A/C. 🙂
The location of the hotel is excellent, only a 10–12-minute walk from the Central Train Station or a short 5-minute walk up to the tram stop, which takes you right up to Central Station. The Bus Station (great for trips to Siena) is afurther 3–4-minute walk out of the Train Station.
In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cosmos, using it as a base to rediscover Florence, Siena & Lucca, before travelling home, via Pisa. The staff are all excellent English speakers, and nothing is too much trouble, including providing additional hangers for our clothes and anything else you need.
Finding this little gem of a hotel (how it's only a 3 star is beyond us, it's worth so much more) has definitely made us think of an immediate return to Florence in in Summer 2026.
Thanks again guys and one more special mention to Amy, for all her help and we'll see you soon......if we can get in now, after this glowing recommendation. 😉
